The invention relates to a radiator for heating purposes and more particularly to oil or gas heatingradiators.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a radiator of this character, wherein either oil or gas can be utilized as fuel through a burner adaptable thereto and maximum heat with a minimum consumption of fuel will be assured.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a radiator of this character, wherein the construction thereof is novel in its enitrety and the products of combustion from a burner are caused to flow or travel through flues so that maximum heat will be assured in the working of the radiator.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a radiator of this character, wherein a series of flattened fiues or tubes are arranged for the passage of the products of combustion from the burner to the outlet stack or pipe and by reason of the extended travel the radiator will deliver the maximum heat in the working thereof.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a radiator of this character, which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and effective in operation, compact, durable and inexpensive to manufacture and install.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose the preferred and modified forms of embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through a radiator constructed in accordance with the invention, being of the oil burning type.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a modification.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Figure 4 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings in detail, particularly Figures 1 to 3 inclusive, A designates generally a radiator constructed in accordance with the invention and involves a stand embracing spaced vertically disposed end headers l0 and II, respectively, these being formed with feet I2 adapted for contact with a foundation or flooring and are in this instance integral with the said headers while between the headers are the intermediate and outer flattened vertically elongated tubes [3 and I4, respectively, which at their ends are in communication with nippled openings I5, the nipples l6 thereof being engaged in the ends of said tubes and in this manner intercommunication is had between the headers in and H and the tubes l3 and I l, respectively.

At opposite sides of the headers I0 and II and secured thereto next to the top of the same as at H are angled bars l8, these being extended a distance beyond the header II and have fixed thereto and depending therefrom between the same a humidor tank l9, being open at its top and receives a quantity of water 20. Also fixed to and depending from the bars I8'beyond the header I l is an oil fuel tank 2|, which through a pipe 22 opens into an oil level control device 23 from which extends a feed or supply pipe 24, being carried upwardly through the bottom of the header (0 into the latter and there carries an oil burner 25, the header l0 being for enclosing the burner 25 and forming a combustion chamber 26 interiorly of said header. The top 21 of the header Ill has fitted therein a removable stove lid plate 28 while at the outermost side of this header III, that is to say, at the end of the radiator, is a removable closure plate 29 for an opening 30 which when uncovered gives access to the combustion chamber 26 created by the header Ill.

Formed in the header I l is a nippled outlet 3|, the nipple 32 thereof being adapted for connection with a smoke stack or other outlet flue while operating within the opening 3| is a turnable damper 33 for controlling the discharge of the spent products of combustion from the radiator.

The tubes 13 and M are uniformly spaced from each other while fixed to the feet I2 at opposite sides of the radiator are the tie bars 34 to give rigidity and to maintain assembly of the said radiator.

In the working of the radiator the products of combustion within the combustion chamber 26 flow horizontally through the tubes I3 and I4 and thence the spent products of combustion are discharged to the stack or flue through the openings 3|, the damper 33 being for controlling the discharge of the spent products of combustion to the stack or flue.

In Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings there is shown a slight modification of the invention wherein the headers 35 and 36, respectively, in addition to the connection of the tubes or lines 3'! and 38 therewith, there is arranged below the said tubes 31 an outlet pipe or flue 39, which at one end has connection with the nipple 46 of the outlet opening 4| in the header 36 and is con-- tinued through the header 35 beneath an ele vated supplemental bottom 36 thereto and thence opening into a chimney or outlet stack, the end portion of the pipe 39 passed through the header 35 being formed with an upturnedelbow 42having therein a turnable damper 43.

In lieu of the oil burner 25 a gas burner can be substituted therefor-within the headers lll or 35- and the gas supply being had from any suitable source or storage tank (not shown) in substitutefor the oil tank 2|.

In the modified forms shown in Figures 4 and 5', the'products of combustion have a cycle path oflfiow through the tubes 31 and 38 and the pipe 39 from whichthe spent. products of combustion pass into the chimney or stack. The tubes [3 or 31 are of less depth to the perpendicular than the tubes M or 38 and these tubes assure maximum heat radiation, the atmospheric air being circulative about and between the said tubes in the working of the radiator What is claimed is:

A radiator of the kind described comprising spaced headers having feet for resting upon a foundation and supporting said headers elevated therefrom, one of the headers being of greater size than the other, both headers being formed with nipples, a plurality of tubes arranged between and connected with the nipples for communication with said headers, bars fixed to the feet at opposite sides of the headers, angle pieces at opposite sides of said headers, fixed thereto and overhanging the same, a burner Within the larger header, means for supplying fuel to the burner, said angle pieces being extended beyond one of the headers: and having the. fuel supply means. suspended thereby, and a flue coupled with the headers and disposed in proximity to the said-tubes for augmentingthe latter.
